Rockwood Preparatory Academy is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Reynolds SD 7 school district, located in Portland, OR with about 313 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 7th Grade. With about 14 teachers, Rockwood Preparatory Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
